How to make the HyperX Duocast sound better
410In this video I'm talking to you about how to make the HyperX Duocast sound better. I've reviewed the mic (https://youtu.be/bhESxaM24Bo).
There are all sorts of things you can do to make the HyperX Duocast sound fantastic and these are some of them:
1 - get it on a boom arm and get it close to your mouth
2 - reduce the gain as much as possible
3 - set it to Cardioid pick up pattern
4 - download firmware using Ngenuity
5 - set the mic to 96KHz/24-bit sample rate in Windows sound settings
6 - Make sure it's selected as the default communication device
7 - Apply other settings in OBS
6 - Apply filters in Ngenuity
In this video I'm showing you how to tweak sound settings in OBS too, including adjust bit rate and sample capture in sound settings, applying filters, using the monitoring to check the levels and more.
